Transitivity is a property of some relationships. I was exposed to this term in maths, but assume it has wider meaning.
Baically a relationship is transitive if that ralationship behaves as follows:
say A relates to B and B relates to C then if A relates to C the relationship is transitive.
equality is an example of a transitive relationship, as are < and >.
In the case of M2, a transitive dependency is one which is is a dependency of one of your dependencies.
so for example if you need EasyMock and EasyMock needs CGLib then CGLib is a transitive dependency of your project and M2 will go get it for you.
Kind regards,
